Honolulu seeks artists to design art for transit center

The City and County of Honolulu’s Commission on Culture and the Arts has issued a request for proposals from artists to design two works of art for the Wahiawa Transit Center.

The city, which has a budget of $100,000 for each project, said the artworks will adorn the interior driveway walls of the two-story, 46,000-square-foot building and can use one or both walls for a mural, frieze, fresco, sculpture or other wall-mounted piece of permanently installed art.

The artwork should highlight the history and culture of Wahiawa with an emphasis on transportation, the city said.

Applications may be filed with the Mayor’s Office of Culture and the Arts, with a deadline of Jan. 11, 2013.
